Jun Takahashi is the founder and creator of UNDERCOVER, one of the most interesting brands out of Tokyo, Japan. A mystical and quiet figure in fashion, but he is a giant in street fashion and in high fashion.

He and Nigo (Bathing Ape) opened a store in Tokyo called NOWHERE in the 90's. a PUNK store that was heavily influenced by British Punk. And now they have relaunched NOWHERE as a pop-up shop inside rei kawakubo's (Comme Des Garcon) Dover Street Market (London).

This was a brief introduction about Jun Takahashi (UNDERCOVER) and NOWHERE, a maestro from Tokyo, a city that sets trends quietly and where crows roam the streets like people.
